"Adjunct Lecturer in Law - Contemporary Name Image & Likeness"

USC Gould School of Law is seeking a lecturer to teach Contemporary Name Image and Likeness. This two-unit course will examine the current state of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) in college athletics, including the legal basis for college athletes ability to secure representation and enter into paid collective agreements, whether college athletes should be considered employees and whether athletic departments will be able to pay athletes directly.

Candidates for this position must have a JD and at least five years of practice, including significant practice in the subject area. In addition, this course will be taught on campus, so instructors must be local.

The course may be postponed until a later semester if fewer than six students are enrolled.

USC reserves the Adjunct appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time at USC, who are employed full-time in a primary profession or career elsewhere. Adjunct faculty typically teach only one course per year but, in exceptional cases, may teach one course per semester, if approved by the dean.

To ensure compliance with federal, state or local regulatory requirements as well as university policy and procedures, Adjunct Lecturers are required to complete specific training requirements as a condition of employment. Adjuncts Lecturers must complete mandated training by a required deadline. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination, in accordance with the Faculty Handbook.
